Soft Front Panel VXIbus Settings

System Controller

You can use the System Controller control to override the jumper

setting on the VXI-MXI-2. When the Auto setting (the default setting)

is active, the onboard jumper setting determines if the VXI-MXI-2 is

the VXI Slot 0 device. Refer to the VXIbus Slot 0/Non-Slot 0 section in

either Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 for more information.

Otherwise, choose either the Yes or No option. Notice that selecting

either of these options overrides the onboard jumper setting on the

VXI-MXI-2, so it will not matter how the jumper is set. You would

need to run the VXI-MXI-2 soft front panel again if you decide to

change the VMEbus System Controller (VXI Slot 0) setting at a later

time.
